How i remove recent apps in task management? I don't remember where it is. Regards!
Press/hold 3 bars to bring up recent apps then go to 3 dots top right and go to settings. It's the only option available now. Hope that helps
Thanks for your reply. I tried, but there is no 3 dots top right. Thanks anyway for your help.
did you try to swipe up on the running app?
Yes, I did. No difference. I'm on One UI 3.0 (Android 11)

Yes, I found it. It was by search bar and there are 3 dots. So I click it off. And now is completely done! Thanks for explain.

Hi there, i just want to have feedback on my TaskOS app.
This application show to the users all the apps he opened and never closed. ( leave applications with HOME key and it will appear. Leave with back key and won't appear.)
The user can scroll between all these apps and launch one by clicking on it or kill it by dragging to the top ( like Palm PRE)
That's a beta, but all the mains features are there.
What do you think of it.
PS: i am looking for ROM developpers that would be able to launch it by long click on the "home" button or trackball/other.
Features
* customizable icon size
* wave effect ( i think i'll remove it)
* confirm killing app or not
* notification to launch easily ( looking for people who know ho to integrate this with long press on home button - trackball)
* more to come...
Will come
* theming the bar
* ignore apps by moving icon to the bottom
Screenshots:
Looks nice but why doesn't it show as many apps as say taskiller?
I'm using a Nexus One btw
For what version of Android is this? Can I run this on my 1.5 device with Sense?

I said it here: this application only kills ACTIVE app's. I don't want to kill other apps.
Read informations here: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
leave (quit) applications with HOME key and it will appear. Leave with back key and won't appear.

This version is Android 2.1 on my hero. But yes of course, you can use it on a 1,5 device with sense!
nice thought, i like it!
I'm running 1.6 stock and unfortunately it doesn't show up when
i leave any app with home-key, but i find the idea of holding
home-key pressed in order to show up really nice!
...and yeah, i stopped using *press-here-to-kill-all-tasks*
I kinda like it
some suggestions:
- gestures (like from down to up to open it)
- Lock the slide up feature while scrolling
- Maybe previews of apps (would require lots of mem somehow)?
- click anywhere other than the switcher to close the switcher
- don't display apps twice
BTW: what about making an app launcher like the wave launcher from webOS? shouldnt be too hard and very useful
I like the idea of a Pre app launcher, but I want to say something related to memory may bog things down a little bit.

Drag up to kill
Drag to the bottom of the screen to ignore

alright. Nevermind the thumbnails by gestures i mean like a system one so you drag up from the bottom of the screen to open taskOS but i guess that isn't possible unfortunately... maybe use a longpress menu to open it? would be great if a different solution was possible to open the switcher up
see news here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5404622#post5404622 to launch with Home key, but i guess i won't have answers.
I think Google should allow users to make custom shortcuts by clicking on buttons!
Ignore function does not work on some screen sizes!!!!
I'll have a look thursday! Be patient
Could you possible add a memory counter at like the corner somewhere to show how much free ram we have? Also, any way to make this look/work a bit more like the WebOS cards if possible?
As for resolution I notice you have a Hero, so I take it you made the res for Hero(my Eris has the same res as the Hero)?

This isn't entirely true.
Some apps need to be force killed.
Android takes care of this only when the situation is really dire.
Why waste the valuable RAM?
Let's say you use App "X" once a day, but it's a resource (memory + cpu) hungry app, like Maps and derivatives.
Now, this is an app which will figure in the active list, but some of them like remaining in the background. Have 5 of those, and your system will work at a crawl.
Now try killing that app. You can really feel the difference, especially if you're using 7201A based handsets (that's 528Mhz).
Take a look at com.eolwral.osmonitor.
IMO, the best task manager around. And it's free (as well as ad-free).
why not mail the author and share some ideas?
You do have a innovative approach to task management (ui-wise).
i don't know if anyone has the same problems, but since last update i keep getting force closes when trying to kill an app!
edit: dis- and reenabling kill popup fixed the problem. weird.

Thank for the feedback!
You are the only one people that I heard having this problem... Really strange but i am glad that Taskos work again!
Next time, send me the logcat so i will be able to correct the bug!
Yeah, it would be nice if we could use TaskOS by holding home... The normal Android switcher is so useless.
very nice app ... will be essential if you find a way to use as task switcher (longpress home)
could you maybe add the option to hide statusbar icon?
also kinetic scrolling would be very welcome
Inertia in scrolling: seem to be so hard to implement.... You will have to wait.
Long press home: Developpers don't have access to this! I will investigate with Custom ROM developers. Imagine all apps can acces home button and you press it!
Ability to remove statusbar icon: will be done in next update.
I think that I left a bug in previous update. Nobody told me and i just corrected this evening. Sorry for the inconveniance!

So does this software now have the ability to load via the home button?
On my captivate there are four apps on the bottom of all home screens: Phone, Email, Browser, and Apps.
Any way I can change it? It doesnt seem to be accessible/customizable.
I havent found a way yet either....so doesn't seem possible.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate(tm) on AT&T

Yep, I figured it out. Follow this:
1. From the Home screen select "Applications"
2. Menu> View Type> Customizable Grid
3. Menu> Edit
You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.
thank you sir!

Is anyone having success with Launcher Pro replacing touchwhiz?
I really prefer launcher pro over touchwiz. Are you asking how to change the buttons on the dock in launcher pro? If so, just hold down one of the little +'s until the menu opens up and go from there.
on a related note, is there a way to remove the different pre-loaded AT&T applications from the phone? there are a number that seem useless given other apps out there that do the same thing but better, but i can´t seem to figure out how to delete them.
keep your finger on the icon you want to move a second longer than normal (if you have your phone on vibrate, it will buzz) then you can move them around the screen as many or as much as you like. You can also drag them into a bin which will appear in the bottom of the screen. This action doesn't delete the app or icon, it just reappears in the apps page. Very easy but took me ages to work it out. So simple. Have fun
Hi all,
this is my first Android device and as such I have some very basic Qs that I am sure any one of you can answer! I have searched high and low for the answer, and after 2 hrs searching in vain I ask for your help!
1) How do you close an application natively (i.e. without a 'task killer') -> i.e. you want to EXIT it as you no longer need it and don't want it running in the background consuming power?
2) How do you natively view a list and switch to an application currently running/open in the background?
On my iTouch both these functions are done by pressing and holding the start button - but I am yet to come across what is the equivalent on my android device!
Thanks!
to kill a app in the system u go to settings, then applications then manage applications then click the all tab and find the app click it then it will say force stop u click that

That button shows 'recently used apps' not currently opened apps.
i.e. if you use a task killer to kill all running apps, it will still show them when you push the button, much like 'recent files' on your PC. As such when I push that button I do not know which of them are opened at the moment and running in the background.
Hence I still don't know where to find a list to easily switch my currently opened apps
And in relation to killing them via the system menu, is it possible somehow to create a shortcut for it on the main window, so I don't need to go to that long navigation to close an app?
Thanks for your advise/help so far!

to switch between apps u must use the app switcher in honeycomb, other wise to see whats currently running in the background go to settings then applications then running. manually u can use a task manager to kill apps and of course its still gonna show those in the app switching list because its been cached there temporarily with the thumbnails.
there may also be apps that can currently tell you what apps are running aswell u should check that out
if your goal is too see what could be using up battery check your battery status through the about section in settings. other wise theres not much to worry as the 1gb ram is suffice
I've not seen this mentioned anywhere as an Android 11 feature, and I'm not sure it's nova launcher either (and i'm too lazy to disable it to check) but I noticed that in gesture navigation mode you can swipe left and right at the bottom of the screen (in the launcher or in any app) to navigate between tasks.

I had a quick look and found it mentioned here:
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3439060/android-gestures.html
Point 9.
And I agree with point 10 - it's really confusing trying to work out which app you'll see if you swipe left or right. Possibly this is why it's not mentioned in the settings page.

Here is the manual written by me so excuse any lack of clarity :
Whatever task you start or go into will be in latest position to the right which means you can only swipe left for previous tasks.
As any task you do action in will go to the right if you multitask between two tasks the latest of the two will always be to the left.
If you go into task panel (swipe up) and select a task it will become the current tasks and therefore you will only be able to swipe left.
So you can only swipe right if you are looking through tasks to find the one you want to work with. as soon as your work in it become the latest position to the right.
Finally after working it out it's pretty natural.
I've got a pixel 4a running Android 12, and I use the pixel launcher, however I am frustrated by the five recent apps at the top of the app drawer, and I can't find any way to remove it. Does anyone here know how?
(Also sorry if this isn't the right place to post this kind of question, but it's my first time posting on here)
